i have been consistently been vomitting every morning this week. however, today i found a way to counteract it. the solution??? tamarind!!!

the other day, my friend elyn accompanied me to go shopping for sexy maternity clothes. hihi. i managed to get for myslef two blouses, 2 dusters, 2 undergarments and a beige cloth to be made for slacks. after our exciting shopping, we also stopped by a philippine-thai store that sells foodstuffs from both countries. i was ablen to buy a chocolate-flavored Anmum milk and some sweetened tamarind from thailand.

and today, while struggling to control my vomitting, i ate some of the sweetened tamarind and the nausea lessened. at least, the continuous flow of saliva stopped and i am now back to my normal self. =)

despite the anti-nausea pills that i am taking, i am still vomitting like crazy. =( just this morning, i felt so awful right after i stepped out from our shuttle service that as soon as i got my things settled at my office, i rushed to the ladies room to do my thing.

i used to think that taking the anti-nausea pills before taking any meals, makes me vomit. but i was wrong. i still vomitted when i took it hours after my breakfast. i then hypothesized that eating heavy meals in the morning triggers my nausea. nope, i was wrong again. i've been eating crumbs of bread and drinking half cup of milk in the morning but i vomit still. i am left with the theory that my stomach controls it all. if it doesn't like what i have eaten, she'll throw it up even if my mind and tastebuds agreed with the food. tsk..tsk...

i therefore conclude, that when you're pregnant, your stomach rules! ;)

i had my 2nd visit with dr. hedjasi today. me and my baby we're now on our 10th month! hold on tight, baby! =)

the doctor had let me hear the heartbeat of my baby with a doppler. baby's heartbeat moved me into tears. grabe, nag-emote ang lola! hihi. i now weigh 47.5 kgs and had a normal urine test result.

i consulted to the doctor the pinching pain that i feel everynow and then, in the sides of my lower abdomen or sometimes around the navel area. she said that i have nothing to worry as this is normal. i asked her for something to cure my pimples and she gave me Acne Aid soap and a 1% clindamycin solution (i plan to use only the soap though). she also gave me the same medicines she prescribed last month (navidoxine and folicum) and scheduled me for a transvaginal ultrasound on the 1st of October and another monthly check-up on the 15th of the same month.

ngii.. i am afraid of the transvaginal ultrasound. i will consult my philippine OB-GYNE if this is fine. natatakot kasi ako as to what happened to my friend and her baby with regards to check-up like this... =(

from the clinic, i took a cab back to work. as soon as i stepped inside our building, i rushed to a nearby ladies room and vomitted. eeewwww!!!!!!!!!

i am still suffering from nausea. just this morning, i actually threw-up inside our shuttle service. yuk! nakakahiya talaga. but what to do, ika nga ng mga Pana??? i thought i could contain the vomiting feeling until we reached the office but i was wrong. at least, carry ko pa rin ang shame. ngaks! hehe. i will bring plastic bag from now on, for emergency cases like this.

my appetite still hasn't gone back to normal. i couldn't eat right. i couldn't think of anything that i like to eat except for sinigang with gabi. ok, i may also eat adobo or anything with vinegar on it. my tastebuds fail to recognize any taste unless its sour. oh, i hate this!

my waistline (i think, i still have a waist though i had difficulty finding it, hehe) measures 30 inches now and my tummy measures 33 inches. haha. getting bigger. more to that, i look like a pimpled-face 12-year-old! eewww...!! sagwa nga eh. yeah right. i'm not posting any picture. i'd rather die first. =)

i have been listening to my Mozart & Bach music every time i get the chance (para maging bright si baby like his mommy). usually kasi, if i'm not crying my heart out with the telenovelas, i'm practicing my moves with the PS2 console. my baby needs to develop his reflexes as early as possible so he could kick soon! hehe.
